[JMS] W1HRX Operation in 2017 AWA AM QSO Party

[Don Buska - The Radio Lab Works]

Just wanted to pass along my thanks to Tim W1GIG who operated with the 
W1HRX Society call during the recent AWA AM QSO Party.  Although Tim was 
only able to operate less than two hours during the event he was able to 
establish contact with 36 stations, a remarkable feat, per his submitted 
log.  All contacts were made on 80 meters using his RCA ACT-150 
transmitter.  See a picture here of his fantastic transmitter -

Keeping the W1HRX call active on the air is one of the primary ways of 
keeping our promise of promotion as stated in the Document of 
organization:  "The purpose of The James Millen Society shall be to 
provide an identity for the purpose of promoting the use, restoration 
and preservation of radio communications equipment which exhibit design 
or construction influences attributable to Mr. James Millen and 
recognize the achievements he has made in progressing the state of the 
art of amateur radio."

Thanks again Tim for keeping the Millen flame going.  To others please 
remember that the use of W1HRX is available to society members for use 
in other amateur radio on-the-air activities throughout the year, 
especially if it promotes our aforementioned purpose.
